Athletics re-signed 1B/OF Andrew Lambo to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Lambo elected free agency after being removed from the A's 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's decided to remain in the organization. He missed the second half this season following surgery for testicular cancer but is fully recovered and will be ready to go for spring training. Oct 28 - 12:27 PM

Lambo, 28, had a brief stint with the A's back in April and missed the entire second half of the season after undergoing surgery for testicular cancer. He finished the season on the 60-day disabled list, but has been cleared to resume playing. Oct 6 - 4:58 PM

Athletics recalled OF Andrew Lambo from Triple-A Nashville; placed him on the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Patrick Schuster, who is joining the A's bullpen on Monday. Lambo is undergoing treatment for testicular cancer. Jul 4 - 10:19 AM

Lambo is currently on the disabled list at Triple-A Nashville with no timetable for activation. He'll undergo another round of pathology tests this week before the physicians at Vanderbilt can map out a plan. Baseball obviously isn't the focus at the moment. Jun 21 - 3:58 PM

Phegley was admitted to a hospital Friday with synovitis in his right knee. The good news is that he's expected to get out of the hospital on Tuesday, but a return to the field in September just isn't realistic at this point.

In addition to surgery on his left foot, Jed Lowrie also recently had an operation for a deviated septum.

"I didn’t think anything of it, and then I saw an ear, nose and throat specialist and it turns out it wasn’t just a deviated septum, there were also two bone spurs," Lowrie said. "My sleep had been messed up for a long time, I realized." The additional surgery doesn't change Lowrie's rehab schedule. He's expected to be ready to go for spring training.

A's manager Bob Melvin said Andrew Triggs (back) is doubtful to pitch again this season.

Triggs left his start Friday against the Red Sox after just one inning due to back discomfort, and he's apparently still in pain. The 27-year-old right-hander had a 4.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 55/13 K/BB ratio through 56 1/3 innings this season with Oakland.

A's trainer Nick Paparesta said that Chris Bassitt (elbow) is on track in his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Bassitt underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of May and subsequently missed the entire 2016 season. While Paparesta said that the 27-year-old right-hander is currently in great shape, he probably won't be ready for a return to the mound until some point in the summer of 2017.
